1. Tips for the solo traveller
1) Planning is the Key
Before you get going, some homework prior to the trip will help you save time on
aligning your further decisions and plans. So, before you start, book a hotel for
yourself, at least for the first
2) Travel Light!
Having less luggage along can help you avoid quite many problems ranging from
carrying difficulties to vulnerability to lose them.
3) Make the most of Daylight
If you are traveling to a completely new place, you wouldn’t want to roam around
exploring unfamiliar territory at night.
4) Build Connections
You got to be open to make connections with other travelers. So, the common
rooms and lounges of hotels are the best place to mingle with people who can make
short term friends. You never know, you may also get some guidance for some new
exciting place in the city!
5) Get alng with Locals of the City
Bonding with locals can help you explore some undiscovered sides of the people of
that city that no book will reveal. Getting to know people better can actually give you
some incredible inputs about the place you visit.
6) Keep your Eyes and Mind open
Not only will that help you in being alert at all times which is important, but also to
observe the world around in a different manner and who knows you may watch things
from a different perspective. And practically, walking by the streets, the café or the
benches of the park, can teach you how to use the public transport or get a cab, or may
be a lot more than you may expect.
7) Put that Shyness away!
Learn how to engage with the strangers in a conversation or how to start a
conversation. You being curious about others and discussing the answers to a few
open ended questions can gift you some answers of questions that were unanswered
so far.
8) Step out! Hang out!

2. Why spend those lovely evenings inside the 4 walls of your hotel when you can make
the most of the lovely atmosphere outside? So the next thing you should do is to step
out of your hotel and explore some pubs and bars and maybe grab a seat at the bar to
enjoy some soothing music or groove throughout the night. Going for a concert or for
a movie could be another option that can be tried. And yes! You got to try these
stepping out solo!
9) Try Communal Tables
A lonely night? Don’t be upset when you dine alone at night. Most of the solo
travelers find it a moment that makes them realize that they are all alone, but this is
eventually the best thing to try by going to a restaurant that has communal tables or

3. counters. Placing an order with the help of a local can surely help you enjoy your
dinner to its best.
10) Learn something new
How about trying your hands on cooking or taking up some language classes? Signing
up for the short term courses in a city where you plan to stay for a little while can help
you connect with more and more people and also gives you something exciting to talk
about when you return! Those memory lanes wills surely make you feel nostalgic.
11) Get Adventurous
Traveling solo can be even more interesting if you pick the road not taken. Most of
the travelers get attracted by the off-the-beaten tracks and that is where most of the
travelers meet other travelers. This also says that the travelers you meet here will
surely have something in common with you.
12) Occasionally take Organized Tours
Sometimes, it good to relax and enjoy an organized tour and let somebody else
manage things for you.
